The robots are deployed in office buildings, where they are tasked with disinfection duties on a trial basis to provide the company with feedback and intelligence on other features and applications required by customers.

"We are extremely excited as we begin trials in the US, an important part of our global deployment strategy," Guardforce AI (NASDAQ:GFAI) chairman Terence Yap said in a statement.

"By integrating the US-deployed robots onto Guardforce AI's robotics management platform, the company will progress towards building a truly intelligent network of robots with the ability to help customers reduce labor cost and improve operational efficiency," he added.Future rollouts will include T-series robots for reception services in restaurants, hotels and malls, the company said, adding that the next phase of service expansion will include applications such as delivery, security and advertising.

"We look forward to delivering premier robotics solutions to clients in the US as part of our efforts," Yap said.

Guardforce AI is a global integrated security solutions provider focused on developing robotic solutions and information security services that complement its well-established secured logistics business.The market growth outlook for robotics is strongly positive with significant growth potential for robotics in the automotive, electrical and electronics, construction, healthcare, and defense segments. There is mounting pressure from end-user industries globally, however, to further reduce prices; improve the features, efficiency and operability of robotics; and maximize the return on investment.

GLP, líder global en la gestión de inversiones y desarrollador de negocios en logística, infraestructura de datos, energía renovable y tecnologías relacionadas, anuncia el lanzamiento de una nueva plataforma en Europa, Global Robotics Services ("GRS"). To get more news about GLP GRS, you can visit glprobotics.com official website.

GRS es una plataforma innovadora que ofrece soluciones de robótica colaborativa como servicio (RaaS) para operaciones logísticas y almacenes. Global Robotics Services es una empresa 100% propiedad de GLP y se expondrá en la conferencia SITL que se celebrará en París del 5 al 8 de abril de 2022.

GRS permite a los clientes acceder a las ventajas de la robótica a través de un innovador modelo de suscripción, que ofrece flexibilidad de pago por uso. GRS ayuda a satisfacer la necesidad de una mayor automatización en el mercado logístico actual, ya que el auge del comercio electrónico ejerce una presión cada vez mayor sobre los métodos de clasificación tradicionales, lo que permite a las empresas mantenerse al día con la demanda.

GRS opera con un modelo de RaaS basado en la suscripción, lo que genera menores requisitos de capital inicial, un ahorro inmediato de mano de obra, una reducción de los costes fijos y unas condiciones de arrendamiento flexibles que ayudan a cerrar la brecha de la automatización para muchas pequeñas y medianas empresas.

Como parte de este servicio se puede ofrecer un paquete completo de servicios que incluye consultoría, implementación, mantenimiento, actualización de sistemas y robótica. RaaS también ofrece a los clientes la posibilidad de ampliar y reducir la escala de forma rápida y sencilla en respuesta a las cambiantes condiciones del mercado o a la demanda estacional, como las Navidades y el Black Friday.

Hasta la fecha, GRS se ha implantado en centros logísticos de Asia y Norteamérica, prestando servicio a más de 20 clientes con más de 1000 robots desplegados y más de 20 millones de servicios RaaS acumulados. Actualmente, GRS presta apoyo a una amplia gama de sectores, como la logística de terceros, el calzado y la ropa, los servicios exprés, la belleza y la cosmética, la cadena de frío y los componentes de automoción, y ha colaborado con clientes globales de primer nivel como LF y BAOZUN E-Commerce.

With significant advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics applications in many services, the question arises whether the future of banking services will be in the hands of robots, or will humans still have a role to play?To get more news about Robots as a Service, you can visit glprobotics.com official website.

Some countries with a penchant for using advanced technology, especially in Asia, seem to be opting for robotics, exemplified by Shinhan Financial, which owns South Korea's oldest and second largest bank, which introduced virtual robots as bank tellers. Shinhan relied upon Samsung's AI programs called Neons. Copying humans, the virtual robots smile and answer customer queries with a mixture of speech and gestures.

Is this the future or is it particular to certain cultures and societies? Many studies carried out among the tech savvy "Generation Z" expect clients of this generation to use Fintech and remote banking instead of visiting physical bank sites. But South Korea was not the first to go into this field of robotics - Japan's SoftBank launched a robot called Pepper in 2015, which was branded as the first commercial machine for businesses to be used for customer interaction.

Pepper's child size and button-eyed features made it endearing to many customers as it did not project a fearsome robotic presence that most often makes humans anxious. SoftBank is still promoting Pepper in the Middle East. While some might dismiss Pepper as a gimmick, more than 2,000 global companies have adopted the SoftBank machine to welcome, guide or inform clients making it an additional effective marketing tool to attract the younger generation.

Not to be outdone, UK-based Engineered Arts has created a humanoid robot called Ameca, with somewhat creepy expressions of happiness, confusion, sorrow and amazement. The robot is still unable to walk at present and is only being manufactured for entertainment and special events.

Others have gone even further. The French robot developing company Aldebaran has also stepped in with its own diminutive robot called NAO, embedded with sensors, bumpers, autonomous navigation and a touch screen. HSBC was the first bank in the US to use it for teaching customers how to open an account while having fun doing it, rather than interacting with a tired or sullen human employee.

The question remains though: Have humanoid-type robots been effective? In some respects, the answer is positive, as some of these robots have been transforming the way banks and other service sectors do business across multiple functions, simplifying many applications. Making such robots multilingual only adds to the general excitement. But there is also resistance to the robot invasion, as a robot's capability to think and feel like a human can induce human distrust and fear, well exemplified in such Hollywood movies as "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," and "I, Robot."

Regardless of our fascination with AI advances, humans are still humans and may prefer to interact with other humans who they trust to share information and make decisions. In addition, there might be a chance that "feelingless" robots might steer customers into making riskier choices. There are also some religious concerns that by creating robots in their own image like gods humans are stepping into unknown moral and ethical territory. Others might argue that robots can carry out many tasks more diligently than humans, giving more time for humans to focus on other areas of their lives.

Despite the misgivings, the advances in humanoid robotics continue apace, including the human-like robot Sophia developed by Hanson Robotics, seen first during Saudi NEOM's inauguration, and which became the first AI in history to be given a legal personhood and granted a Saudi citizenship. It did not stop with Sophia, as NEOM's future developments are expected to be so advanced that the founders believe that robots will outnumber humans in many activities, having a role in critical areas such as advanced manufacturing, genetic engineering and medical innovation, where AI has already proved a blessing.

In the face of all this, what can banks do in response to the advances of the robotics industry? Up-skilling their staff, more effective and friendly customer services, and multi-tasking could be a start.
